Story Bundle has a new gaming bundle up, The Rogue Souls bundle. Is Pay What You Want, but the $15 tier has You Died: The Unofficial Dark Souls Companion and Boss Fight Books: Mega Man 3 (I've been told those games are popular around here) and it also has a book by Fearless Leader Himself, Good Nintentions 1985.

And in getting that onto my phone, I've learned I can just email anything to a Kindle and be able to read it. If I can really get a Paperwhite and easily go back and forth between reading on that at home and on my phone at ...elsewhere, that might be the final nail in the coffin for my old workhorse Nook.

Kindle won't sync books you didn't buy through amazon, but it is pretty good otherwise.

I did just buy a kobo because they haven't released a new paperwhite in a while and mine got smushed at some point so there is a ultimately ignorable, yet annoying defect in the screen in the top left corner. I would kind of miss the x-ray feature, but I am excited about blue light reduction for nighttime reading. I still don't understand why you can't have a white on black mode on the paperwhite!

I just checked and my copy of The Quantum Thief (from Tor's ebook program, above, and uploaded VIA the Kindle upload tool) syncs fine. I read it on my Kindle, finished it a couple days ago, downloaded it on my phone, and it's at the last page there.

I suppose the easiest (or at least free-est) way to test this would be to download the PC version of the Kindle reader and see if I can transfer book states between that and my phone, because I have at least a handful of dirty pirate books myself. But enough about my romance novel habit....~

All the Battle Angels are in this Amazon comics sale, though the best Battle Angel books are the new hardback editions of the original. At least I can dump my Last Order paperbacks in favor of the digital omnibus versions!

Also Amazon Vertigo sale if you've never bought Sandman the last hundred times there was a Vertigo sale. Actually there's lots of good titles (Astro City is Vertigo now?) but the sale page is a confusing jumble.

Got myself a Kindle Paperwhite a few weeks ago and it's been really nice. Got the first volume of Alita in the above sale and discovered I can read manga on it and now I'm even happier with it (I'm assuming it will have major issues holding more than a couple volumes at once though). Now if only I could figure out a good way to organize everything I have on Kindle between my reader, phone app, and PC....

Everything I've gotten from Amazon already shows up on all my readers, yes, but files from other sources need to be added to every version of the reader individually from what I can tell. Having some kind of online master account for moving my Storybundle purchases, Tor giveaways, et al is at the top of my wishlist.

And while I'm dreaming, an option to tell Amazon I didn't like a particular book and do not want to see similar offerings would be great. And an "I've finished this book, send it to the back of the library so I don't have to scroll past it to see things I haven't ready yet" button would be grand, but I guess that's just sorting by recent and then skipping to the back of the list.

You can do that by using Amazon Documents - you just need to email your books to your kindle. Here's Amazon's help page detailing the process. Story Bundle has this integrated into their site - just go to one of your bundle pages and follow the instructions there about how to send to your kindle, and they will mail your books to your Kindle address.

Documents registered in your Amazon Documents are visible from any kindle device, and you can organize them in collections. Just make sure to disable "Whispernet Delivery Over 3G" in your "Mange Content and Devices/Settings/Personal Documents", as Amazon charges for delivering your documents over 3G (but it's free over Wi-Fi).

I was about to say I was doing all that already but you did give me the clue I needed to go into the settings and see that document storage access was turned off in my Kindle app. I turned it on, refreshed my library, and the Storybundle I had emailed to my Paperwhite magically appeared. I guess I just have to do that individually with each reader I have and everything will be golden again (except for 40% of my recommendations still being Robert Bevan books, of course). Thanks!

I realize it isn't worth Amazon's time to check ebooks and create custom samples to make sure this doesn't happen, but I'm still peeved that I downloaded the sample for Roadside Picnic and at least half of said sample was Ursula K. Le Guin's forward to the book and not the actual story.
